All chords with respect to capo
Intro: G D C
G
I'm just tryin' to be a father, raise a daughter and a son
D
Be a lover to their mother, everythin' to everyone
C
Up and at 'em bright and early, I'm all business in my suit
D
Yeah I'm dressed up for success, from my head down to my boots

I don't do it for the money, there's bills that I can't pay
D
I don't do it for the glory, I just do it anyways
C
Providing for our future's my responsibility
D
Yeah I'm real good under pressure, being all that I can be
G
And I can't call in sick on Mondays when the weekend's been too strong
D
I just work straight through the holidays, and sometimes all night long
C
You can bet that I stand ready, when the wolf growls at the door
D
Hey I?m solid, hey I?m steady, hey I?m true down to the core
G
And I will always do my duty no matter what the price
D
I?ve counted up the cost, I know the sacrifice
C
Oh and I don?t want to die for you, but if dyin?s asked of me
D
I?ll bear that cross with honor, cause freedom don?t come free.

I?m an American Soldier an American

When liberty?s in jeopardy, I will always do what?s right
